There is no need for boots on the ground in Iran.
Instead, a Second Amendment Solution stands a real chance of giving the Iranian people a genuine path back to freedom. https://twitter.com/LindseyGrahamSC/status/2051482010833854612/video/1 tweet

RT @TheresaAFallon: Persistence pays off. After trying on four separate occasions to meet her favorite politician, this young Armenian student called out in perfect French that she so wanted to meet President Macron and have a photo taken with him. Among the scrum of photographers covering the European Political Committee Summit and hundreds of onlookers crowding around Macron he heard her. His bodyguards made way, and she got her photo. Why don’t you make her day and give her a retweet.

One potential UAE response would be to target some of the roughly 20 Iranian vessels currently or about to be used as floating oil storage.
This would help expedite the Iranian oil wells going offline. https://twitter.com/Osint613/status/2051581975182401722/photo/1

2 U.S. Army soldiers went missing around 9 PM on May 2 in southern Morocco near the Cap Draa training area by Tan Tan during the African Lion 2026.
• The incident happened off duty during a recreational hike near coastal cliffs.
• One soldier fell into the Atlantic. A second jumped in to rescue him.
• A third attempted to help using a belt chain, then entered the water but made it back to shore safely.
• The 2 who went into the water remain missing.
• Officials say no foul play is suspected. Strong currents and waves are believed to be the cause.
•. A large multinational search involving U.S. and Moroccan forces with aircraft, drones, ships, and divers is ongoing as of May 5.

RT @citrinowicz: The Myth of the “Imminent Iranian Bomb”
The most persistent justification for the current campaign against Iran is also the most misleading: the claim that Iran was on the verge of acquiring a nuclear weapon and had to be stopped.
This narrative collapses under scrutiny.
For years, U.S. and allied intelligence assessments have been consistent on one key point: Iran’s nuclear program, while advanced, is not equivalent to an active decision to build a bomb. The critical threshold has always been political, not technical. Tehran would first have to make a deliberate choice to weaponize, a decision that, by all credible accounts, had not been made prior to the conflict.
Yet this distinction has been blurred, if not erased, in public discourse. The hypothetical, “Iran could have built a bomb”, has been repackaged as an imminent threat. It is a subtle but consequential shift, one that transforms uncertainty into urgency and speculation into justification.
More troubling is what this framing obscures.
The nuclear issue was never the sole, or even primary, driver of the campaign. It functioned as a convenient rationale for a broader strategic objective: reshaping the Iranian regime itself. By centering the narrative on nuclear urgency, policymakers have sidestepped a more honest debate about aims, risks, and long-term consequences.
And those consequences are already coming into view.
If the goal was to eliminate Iran’s nuclear potential, the evidence so far suggests the opposite outcome. This war has underscored a hard truth: there is no clean military solution to the Iranian nuclear challenge. Airstrikes and coercion can delay, disrupt, and degrade — but they cannot erase knowledge, dismantle intent, or resolve the underlying strategic calculus.
In fact, they may accelerate it.
By raising the perceived threat to the regime, the conflict increases the incentive for Tehran to reconsider its nuclear posture. What was once a conditional and deferred decision meaning “if we choose to”, may become a more urgent strategic imperative. In trying to prevent a nuclear Iran through force, we may be creating the conditions that make it more likely.
This is the paradox at the heart of the current approach: the nuclear threat has been inflated to justify the war, and the war itself may ensure that the threat becomes real.
Absent a credible diplomatic framework, this cycle will only deepen. The question is no longer whether Iran could pursue a bomb. It is whether our own actions are pushing it closer to deciding that it should.

What “nuclear arsenal”? Come on, @nytimes this is a misleading headline to say the least.
Iran has no “nuclear arsenal.” According to U.S. intelligence, Iran wasn’t weaponizing and was at least 9-12 months away from getting a bomb. https://twitter.com/RKelanic/status/2051463833751863632/photo/1 tweet
